Introductory Chemistry Problems
The essential point of the book is to show students in Introductory Chemistry classes how to obtain answers that are at least reasonable, and to realize when there must have been an error because the answer falls outside the range of possible values. Students often leave ridiculous answers because they simply plug into equations they have memorized (correctly or incorrectly). They have not learned to think about the meaning of the numbers that appear in their calculations. This book attempts to show students how to correct this.

Feature Papers in Extractive Metallurgy
Extractive metallurgy deals with the processes for the recovery of valuable metals from ores and concentrates (primary metallurgy) or waste raw materials such as slags, slime, and flying ashes (recycling or secondary metallurgy). Regarding the type of obtained metals, these processes are divided into five different groups: extractive metallurgy of iron and steel, non-ferrous extractive metallurgy, extractive metallurgy of precious metals, extractive metallurgy of rare earth elements, and refractory metal extractive metallurgy. These processes in extractive metallurgy include unit processes for separating highly pure metals from undesirable metals in an economically efficient system. Extractive metallurgy is based on unit metallurgical operations that are usually separated into three categories: 1) hydrometallurgy (leaching, mixing, neutralization, precipitation, cementation, and crystallization); 2) pyrometallurgy (roasting and smelting); and 3) electrometallurgy (aqueous electrolysis and molten salt electrolysis).

Understanding the Role of Chaos Theory in Military Decision Making
Chaos theory is a poorly understood concept in social science and in military analytical decision making systems. Military decision makers require a multidisciplinary approach of mathematical analysis, modeling and simulation, topology, and post-structural philosophy if they intend to conceptualize chaos theory and complex adaptive systems and theirs relevance to military planning. The essence of this understanding is that while chaos appears random, chaos properly understood is a deterministic series found in very simple forms. These forms exhibit sensitivity to initial conditions, bounding, and attractors. Despite various methods for detecting chaos in mechanical systems, data set size limitations and inability to separate out adaptive behaviors make these techniques of little value in situ. Adaptation and complexity are phenomena that are very different from chaos. Higher order interactions and effects, self-organization, and propensity of co-evolution and novel emergence distinguish chaos from stochastic processes. The self-organization and emergence are evident when a cumulative effect is different from the additive effects of the components. These self-organizing components differ from chaos because the properties of resolution and scope are fundamentally different. The fractal nature of chaos ensures that it is scale less and, therefore, unable to produce novel emergent effects. One way to conceptualize chaos within complexity is through the Deleuzian post-structural Philosophy of Difference regarding Smooth and Striated Spaces and Nomad versus the Sedentary agents. This conceptualization, transferred to chaos applications, links turbulence to barriers and increased gridding on the surface of open systems. These barriers inform agents on suitable terrain and options during decision-making. Understanding chaos has several applications for military planning in real world environments. Because chaos is bounded, planners can create allowances for system noise.

Evaluation of Conceptual Models of Natural Organic Matter (humus) From a Consideration of the Chemical and Biochemical Processes of Humification
Natural organic matter (NOM) has been studied for more than 200 years because of its importance in enhancing soil fertility, soil structure, and water-holding capacity and as a carbon sink in the global carbon cycle. Two different types of models have been proposed for NOM: (1) the humic polymer models and (2) the molecular aggregate models. In the humic polymer models, NOM molecules are depicted as large (humic) polymers that have unique chemical structures that are different from those of the precursor plant degradation products. In the molecular aggregate models, NOM is depicted as being composed of molecular aggregates (supramolecular aggregates) of plant degradation products held together by non-covalent bonds. The preponderance of evidence favors the supramolecular aggregate models. These models were developed by studying the properties of NOM extracted from soils and natural waters, and as such, they provide only a very generalized picture of the structure of NOM aggregates in soils and natural waters prior to extraction. A compartmental model, in which the structure of the NOM in each of the compartments is treated separately, should provide a more accurate representation of NOM in soil and sediment systems. The proposed NOM compartments are: (1) partially degraded plant tissue, (2) biomass from microorganisms, (3) organic coatings on mineral grains, (4) pyrolytic carbon, (5) organic precipitates, and (6) dissolved organic matter (DOM) in interstitial water. Within each of these compartments there are NOM supramolecular aggregates that will be dissolved by the solvent systems that are used by researchers for extraction of NOM from soils and sediments. In natural water systems DOM may be considered as existing in two subcompartments: (1) truly dissolved DOM and (2) colloidal DOM.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Methods and Styles in the Development of Chemistry
Chemistry as it is known today is deeply rooted in a variety of thought & action, dating back at least as far as the fifth century B.C. In this book, Joseph Fruton weaves together the history of scientific investigation with social, religious, philosophical, & other events & practices that have contributed to the field of modern chemistry. The story begins with the influence of alchemy on early Greek numerology and philosophy, followed by the historical account of chemical composition and phlogiston. The life and work of Antoine Lavoisier receive extensive coverage in Chapter Three, with the remaining six chapters devoted to atoms, equivalents, and elements; radicals and types; valence and molectualr structure; stereochemistry and organic synthesis; forces, equilibria, and rates; and electrons, reaction mechanisms, and organic synthesis.
